This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.
Last year was another banner year for inflows to exchange traded funds and that was music to the ears of BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK), the world's larges asset manager and the biggest issuer of ETFs. New York-based BlackRock garnered $130 billion of the $347 billion that flowed into exchange traded products last year.

The company broke inflows records in both the U.S. and Europe, the world's two largest ETF markets. According to a statement out Monday, inflows to U.S.-listed iShares ETFs surged to $97 billion last year from $82 billion in 2014. In Europe, iShares' inflows rose to $34 billion from $20 billion in 2014 as the issuer captured 42 percent of flows in both markets.

iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE: AGG), the largest U.S bond ETF, was last year's top asset-gathering fixed income ETF with inflows of $7.77 billion. That total was exceeded by just four other ETFs. The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE: LQD) added more than $5.7 billion in new assets in 2015, making it the second-best bond ETF in terms of inflows and the tenth-best overall.
Confirming that investors were partial to international equity ETFs last year over U.S. Equivalents, three iShares international stock funds were among the top 10 asset-gathering ETFs. That trio is comprised of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSE: EFA), iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSE: IEFA) and the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE: EZU).
In November, iShares said lowered the fees on seven of its core ETFs, bringing some of the annual expense ratios on those funds to as low as 0.03 percent per year. That works out to be a mere $3 for every $10,000 invested.
